Trump has renewed calls for the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Clinton in recent days.

In a radio interview Thursday, Trump said he was “very unhappy” that federal officials weren’t investigating Clinton. The comment followed new revelations that her campaign funded opposition research on Trump that led to the production of an unverified dossier linking him to Russia.

"The saddest thing is, because I'm the president of the United States, I am not supposed to be involved in the Justice Department. I am not supposed to be involved in the FBI. I'm not supposed to be doing the kind of things that I would love to be doing and I'm very frustrated by it," he said.

Trump also told reporters Friday that he was “disappointed” in the Justice Department for not investigating Clinton, saying “they should be looking at the Democrats.”

In January, Trump fired Yates from her post as acting attorney general just hours after she refused to have the Justice Department defend his executive order blocking people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.
